  Final Fantasy Resonance Was Way Better Than I Expected 08.09.2026 9min

  Final Fantasy Resonance caught me completely off guard. I recently had the chance to play the game with Square Enix, and now that the surprisingly substantial demo is available, I've gone back and played through the opening for myself.What I found is a fantastic blend of classic 2D Final Fantasy and modern RPG design. You've got turn-based combat, exploration, tents and save points, Espers, Visions based on iconic Final Fantasy characters, Resonance attacks, fully voiced NPCs, and some beautiful cinematic moments layered over that nostalgic pixel-art presentation.After spending a few hours with it, Final Fantasy Resonance feels like the kind of Final Fantasy game I didn't know I was missing.

  Exodus Feels Like the Mass Effect Follow-Up I’ve Wanted for Years 05.09.2026 8min

  I got to play Exodus during a preview event in Austin, and as a longtime Mass Effect fan, this one is hitting a lot of the right notes for me. I played through a full mission featuring combat, companion abilities, dialogue choices, exploration, upgrades, the Recycler weapon system, and the Gauntlet abilities that play a major role both in combat and traversal. There are definitely some familiar Mass Effect vibes here, especially when commanding companions and deciding how to handle major story moments, but Exodus is also introducing some really interesting ideas of its own. Time dilation in particular could have huge consequences for the choices you make throughout the story. After playing the mission twice to see different outcomes, I came away wanting to know a lot more about these characters, this world, and how my decisions will come back to affect me later. Exodus is currently planned for 2027.

  The GTA 6 Leaker Cashed Out, But May Have Made A Huge Mistake 31.08.2026 13min

  The GTA 6 Cyberleek saga may finally be coming to an end.After weeks of leaked GTA V footage, a meme coin and increasingly bizarre claims, blockchain researchers have traced the money behind the operation. Cyberleek appears to have pulled roughly $270,000 in trading fees from the project and started moving those funds through multiple wallets and crypto services.But the bigger story may be where the trail leads. Researchers say funding connected to the Cyberleek operation can be traced back to KuCoin, a centralized exchange that uses identity verification, potentially giving investigators a path toward whoever is actually behind the leaks.In this video, I break down what Vice Cit and other researchers found, whether Cyberleek really cashed out, and why the GTA 6 leaker may have made a major mistake.

  That Big Sony PlayStation Physical Media Reversal Rumor Looks Fake 30.08.2026 12min

  A rumor exploded online claiming Sony is reconsidering its plans for physical PlayStation games because Microsoft is supposedly pitching its next Xbox as "100% physical." There's just one problem: when you trace the story back, the claims are still completely unverified.The reports appear to originate from Gamescom chatter discussed on Eurogamer Spain's podcast before being amplified across gaming sites and social media. Sony hasn't announced any change to its physical game plans, Microsoft hasn't announced Project Helix as a "100% physical" console, and other outlets are now questioning whether the story makes sense at all.So let's break down what was actually said, where this rumor came from, and why I'm extremely skeptical of this Sony story.
